Cloning of Syrian Hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) Cytokine cDNAs and Analysis of Cytokine mRNA Expression in Experimental Visceral Leishmaniasis
1 May 1998
Abstract excerpt
The Syrian golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) is uniquely susceptible to a variety of intracellular pathogens and is an excellent model for a number of human infectious diseases. The molecular basis for this high level of susceptibility is unknown, and immunological studies related to this model have been limited by the lack of available reagents. In this report we describe the cloning and sequence analysis of...
